Ok let me be honest with you, I'm listening to this magical thing for 4 weeks in a row now.

[@jigmiderdeneochir8325]

yes this magical

[@pubbahubbabba]

The moment you begin to listen throat singing, if you have the soul sensitivity required, it becomes an obsession.

[@Rasse1991]

I LOVE YOUR COMMENT!

[@roryokane5907]

This guy did the throat singing on the Attila Total War soundtrack. Awesome.

[@horsefiddle]

Thanks Roy.

[@Revmmando]

Don't think he did...

[@mickbigdickbootymad]

he did

[@mickbigdickbootymad]

....with a german dude

[@sejfzlrrhman]

I'm here to meet the master himself. Total war Attila is epic!!!

[@Baleur]

HOW did this man manage to get an entire concert hall of audience members to produce harmonic notes of equal quality to the best choirs in the world?

[@jankie55]

my dad use to be in a 150 man choir called Vocal Majority, and they would do this with crowds some times, and it's amazing how it always works and sounds beautiful

[@patentpendulum]

That's what humans are capable of

[@lifedeluxe4all]

It isn't difficult actually, you just have to be at ease and listen to each other. Our evolutionary advantage always lay in the ability to work together and care for another. One might say we are made to resonate in each other.

[@beeljaved86]

Real easy right​@@lifedeluxe4all

[@GNSK3]

Just come over here when you're tired, upset, and anxious. Blessings,

[@arkitorture]

that's the most in tune audience ive heard ever.

[@TheGooseman14]

Dont want to break the mood but its probably enhanced in post production...

[@DarkForceUbz]

@@TheGooseman14 ted talks are usually like this.

[@philippamylchreest1445]

it's a reflection of the sort of people that are there. The audiences for Herbie Hancock (jazz) and Jacob Collier @ sydney opera house were similar

[@Gus.Galvao]

His singing makes me cry deeply. its so touching and so spiritual. Blessed may this man be forever!

[@kippapao]

Exactly!

[@shivaghazal]

YAH BOOFHEAD. GET A REAL LIFE WOKE

[@vinaychaudhary8629]

Yes

[@zoloo1201]

As i Mongolian, i am very proud of you. You are the great musician. I like your manner to audiences how you make them funny!

[@ron.v]

What amazing, soul stirring music your people have. I am so glad it is being shared with the world.

[@ZachTes]

Truly feels like I'm watching an ancient culture perform in front of me

[@pariswaterson2352]

Its amazing how he can sing two notes at the same time and change them. This is truly a god given gift

[@Ганбаатар-э3и]

Its not that rare in Mongolia.

[@pariswaterson2352]

@@Ганбаатар-э3и well then a god gifted nation they are. hehe

[@pariswaterson2352]

@metal_ak4 wow your so lucky, I'm still trying to use my chest voice to keep high notes.

[@overtonefinds6385]

Anyone can learn to control the overtones and make melodies with regular practice. I believe that the hardest part is to sing with that typical timbre of the drone voice (like at the beginning of the video), anyway it can be done even with a relaxed throat

[@gregbooth4841]

Bukhu is brilliant. His cultural artform is amazing.

[@carob8220]

Thiiiisssss!!!!!! Just heard him on The Voice the other week! MIND blowing.

[@cypresstree1699]

He was treated so unfairly on -the Voice.hopes he becomes even more famous now!!

[@PhO3NiX96]

What happened?

[@mercyilagan135]

Shame on the judges of X factor

[@robertaheaslipevans2526]

1,000% agree!!!!

[@vanessacaltabiano9775]

GuyvSebastian’s song choice didn’t do him justice. I agreed with delta & Kelly👍❤️

[@dafirstlady3254]

Why did he go with gs? Gonna watch. Unlike gs to make a silly song choice.

[@dhavalparmar4472]

Ohh god he has the voice of universe

[@hees0009]

I wish he'd come out with an album.

[@chrismayer6037]

I agree

[@taukashwell946]

This is a late reply but I think he's got a KZbin channel with all his songs he's made

[@diannebeatty3851]

He has a youtube channel "horsefiddle"

[@AkAsCoTTii3]

The first time the audience tried the notes together, it was nearly sheer perfection

[@Armatige]

When the audience kicked in on his signal....massive goose bumps. They all sounded frigging amazing.

[@deetop623]

Music is embedded in our DNA regardless of our ethnicity! Absolutely amazing to see everyone connected if only for a few minutes.👏👌👊😁

[@emilycampbell5798]

So true! Feels like home ✨💎 I am going to meditate to this master from now on! Just amazing

[@benm5221]

The first performance has such an ancient Aboriginal sound. Amazing.

[@carob8220]

Thiiiis!!!!

[@paulortiz8063]

It is/was Mongolian throat singing! Quit normal in Mongolia! People really aught to travel more! There is a whole world to discover!!!

[@krissmaboragaysofficials6370]

I LOVE the simple life of Mongolian people....The Mountain Grassland and Nature

[@Fenizrael]

I saw an exhibit called “Citizen’s Band” with this man and I cried when I first saw it. I cried again when I watched this.

[@sharonvandongeren4255]

As soon as he hits those snares I get overwhelmed and tear up. As if a feeling of sadness and heartbreak, but also breakthrough, fight, victory and pride takes over. And his singing....pfff. So so spiritual and beautiful ❤

[@alvinofilas5679]

same here. its like someone just held my heart.

[@addieadds1264]

well said

[@rowanvanleeuwen3914]

Ever since I played Total War: Attila, I've become fond of listening to this kind of music. It is invigorating! Wonderful work, sir!

[@SNATCHYDBS]

That speaks to your ancestral dna.... I do not understand why or how but somehow his voice and that fiddle stir something very deep inside me that makes me sad yet joyfull ... I see back to our beginnings on this world when all we had was each other.... Thank you Bukhu ... you touched my soul...🙏

[@bloodsling]

3:17 damn..that swell of sonorous wonder when the crowd began in harmony,I did not expect that to sound so beautiful.

[@toeantjemani]

I do not understand why his voice makea me cry in good way when i watched him in THE VOICE....amazing amazing voice😍😍😍😍😍

[@addjem]

You`re not alone with your experience. It happened to me the same way. and in addition to this unbelievable voice he seems to be a very pleasant person

[@gwenethrosenlund536]

I have so much respect for a musician of this calibre. I love throat singing.. such a skill.

[@PaddySheehan85]

This is honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Even the crowd keeping that perfect harmony❤ Wish I was there.

[@PixieBratski]

Amazingly beautiful. More than music, more than a melody, I feel there is a spiritual connection to the Universe when I hear this style of singing. The drone of Buddhist monks meets out-of-this-world overtones. The choir was fantastic too.

[@carob8220]

Thiiisssss!!!!

[@emilycampbell5798]

So transcendental! ✨🌌

[@claudiavenencia1337]

Made me cry! Me hizo llorar! Cuánta belleza,cuánta bella destreza! De pronto me imaginé que si hubiera dedicado hasta hoy mí tiempo en lograr algo comparable en belleza...que divino sería!!! Que divino sería si todos los humanos dedicaramos el trascurso de nuestra vida en alcanzar estás metas. ..que divino sería!!! Yo tengo destreza en pintar,todos admiran mi destreza,sin embargo he hecho tan poco!!! No me quisiera ir,sin hacer algo hermoso con la gente como hace el...ya soy muy grande,solo quisiera irme "en el camino de hacer estas cosas",es mí anhelo,sentir esa sensación de compartir con otros algo bello,producido por mí,que surge de mí y que sea útil para los demás!!! El es la prueba de lo bello que podría ser el ser humano!!!🦋

[@dingbat7289]

quite literally the most beautiful thing I've heard

[@ankhaaagaru977]

Үнэхээр сайхан дуулжээ. Дахин дахин сонсож, даган дуулж сууна. Монголынхоо сайхан урлагийг дэлхийд таниулж байгаа уран бүтээлч таниар бахархаж байна. Цаашдын уран бүтээлд нь улам их амжилт хүсье. Монголчууд танаар бахархаж байгаа шүү

[@vangdavid2]

So glad he's on the Voice. He deserves for the world to hear his talent

[@jennaminheeross9443]

Well he actually gets disrespected and embarrassed by Guy Sebastian in the battles unfortunately.

[@bhavinb.artstation]

I'm not glad I'm genuinely depressed tht he went to voice if he knew only tht voice is like wholesome marketplace and not good place for creative artists like him he might have ended on better side !

[@anukaganbat2655]

This is a Mongolian traditional throat singing, if anything the soundtrack was indeed used in the Total War which is common for game soundtrack usages. As well as in Star Wars they used Mongolian dialect and sped up the process so it sounds like an alien language. It’s very cool!

[@nicosmeets1709]

With my experience in the Himalayans, the Pamirs, Russia, Morocco, and so many countries, I never met a person with the unique capacities of yours. Simple I am 80 years old.....super

Omg ...crying again

Its holy, so beautifulllllll and mystical!!!! My brith father had Mongoliam heritage!!!!! I love it!!!!
